If you value Avios at 1p each then the reward booking has cost you £1,750 for 2 passengers ie £875 per passenger.
The business fare in cash is £315 more per passenger but is business all the way.
If you would pay that to upgrade from economy to business from DOH to LHR then I’d say pay the cash fare as you would also get SOME Avios and TP assuming it is in a fare bucket that does earn TP in BAEC (beware some KL and Cathay Pacific fare buckets do not)
